Asheville native Rebecca Keil is in her ninth year with UNC Asheville and fifth year as Director of Student-Athlete Services.

In partnership with existing campus services, she supports the student-athletes in their efforts to balance academic and athletic goals. This includes coordinating Asheville Advantage, a program matching the NCAA-required life skills programs with local business leaders and volunteers. The goal of the program is to provide mentors and assistance for student-athletes in the areas of: academics, athletics, personal development, career development and community service. Team MVP are members of the UNC Asheville community, both faculty and staff, who also volunteer their time to support this goal.

Rebecca has earned degrees from UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University. Her daughter Elizabeth is a member of the UNC Asheville women's soccer team.
